Spinteews,
Yes, you're right! You just need like a flat (-) screwdriver to gently open up the fender flares. Stick your hand inside to unscrew the bolt inside, becareful not to loose/drop the screw as you loosen it. The driver side should be very easy to do. The passenger side can be more challenging, esp if you have a big hand. There's like a water pump located close to the passenger side corners, so it can be hard to remove the screw from inside.
Be patient, do it slowly, I'm sure you'll get it done... I have already done it...
good luck!

Hello,
I used a standard yellow bulb for those clear corners. I still want them to have yellow light, 'cause I don't want to risk having problem with the police. I just don't like the yellow lenses. So at night when it's on, it's still yellow, but when it's off, it's clear...

DJ,
Thanks! Yes, I love the RMM grill too... It's made of polyurethane (wrong spelling???) black color, not fiberglass. The Lexus white color is very hard to match, so I took off the lower side of the grill from the car, give it to the bodyshop, so they can try to match the color as best possible. Install was not hard, the mesh grill was also provided to cover behind it, and the emblem is also provided, since different size than original...

just use a screwdriver to kind of pry up under the wheel fender flares... Then you should be able to slide your hand and reach the back of the clear coners to unloose the screw.
The driver side was very easy to do, probably less than 10 minutes. The passenger side is more difficult, since there's the water pump (don't know exact term to use) that gets in the way... need more patience... took me like almost 20 minutes 30 minutes....
I don't know if the back corner lens is the exact same size and fit as the fronts... anyone knows?
